feet while squatting
does ayone know if using a wider/narrower stance while squatting hit the four strands of the quad in a more thourough manner? I know the deeper one squats the more the hammys and glutes come into play. but I want to beef up my quadies a bit more.

when going heavy you should stick to shoulder width also. many people go with a wide stance on the leg press (you can use more weight) but that brings in too much hamstring and glute activation for me...
on occasion I will go with my feet close together but I will significantly drop the weight...I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

Start with a hip-width stance and as your flexibility improves you can narrow your stance.
Searching for the right balance...
